Ow, my brain.  http://www.zune.com is under construction and it already
has 104898 accesses.

However, it looks like Zune can synch with any suitably equipped Windows

I for one would expect some sort of a WiFi USB addon, but I'll admit I
don't do any song-toting.

But why can't it run Windows Vista Aero? :-)
